So here I am, sitting out on my front porch the night before
the big Goo Goo Dolls concert, finally delivering the second part of the bestof list I started earlier this week.
It should be noted that the sun has
long since abandoned its post, and my porch light burned out many moons ago.
Also, the area where I live has a strict anti-street lamp policy. Very strict.
We don’t like to talk about just how strict it is, but trust me. Strict.
So I’m sitting here, blogging solely
by the light of my laptop screen, just like our forefathers did, feverishly
fighting off the endless swarm of moths drawn to the faint blue-ish glow.
You’d think these less than ideal circumstances
would drive me inside, where there’s light and many fewer bugs, or at the very
least watch my word count and move things along. But no. Here we are. Stalling
for time. Talking about my neighborhood and bugs.
Some guy just laid on his horn one
street over for a good 30 seconds. Wonder what that was about?
A different guy just walked by,
talking to his dog. Did he not see me sitting here? Who doesn’t try to hide it
when they talk to themselves or their pets? Maybe he thought I must be crazy
too. After all, who sits on a porch in total darkness, pounding away at a
laptop?
Alright,
that bug that just dive-bombed my face was just too big for me to comprehend. I’ve
had enough of this, let’s get into the list.
You
know him as the Goo Goo Dolls’ more famous lead singer and guitarist, the voice
behind all of their biggest and smallest hits.
In many
ways this was a much tougher list to put together than my Best of Robby collection. Some tough choices had to be made. Some favorites had to be left
off. But the top pretty much wrote itself.
Here they are: The Ten Best Johnny
(John) Rzeznik Songs … of All Time!
